3D Printed Rackett

I recently designed and printed a Rackett (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4603388) that I wanted to share. It is based of a drawing in "The Amateur Wind Instrument Maker" by Trevor Robinson. The reed is one I made out of plastic packaging material. Is anyone here aware of other sources ...
